The House resumed the conside<a
tion of the Tariff BUI.
Mr. Daniel resumed the course, of his
remarks, in reply to !\lr. Barges, and
concluded his speech with the same se
vere style of animadversion which had
distinguished its commencement—“ dirt
grubbers,” and “ mud machines,” “blue
light Federalists,” and “ hog and hom
iny boys,” were referred to in the intro
duction —and in the body of tire speech,
Mr. D- recited the various modes in
which ‘he Western States had extended
their piotectiuu to the pastern—com
mented oy tire conduct of the Eastern
F tates in the late war; on she subject of
the acquisition of Louisiana; and, after
a number of remarks on. school masters,
(General Jackson's orthography, Dr.
Cooper’s patriotism, forged letters, the
coffin hand bill, iScr. he concluded, af
ter having been called to order 1% the
Chair.
Mr. Martin obtained th° ffoor, but
ielded il a few minutes to Mr. Burges,
•who explained, denying all intention of
3 reusing the People of Kentucky with
cowardice, and insisting there was but
oae man in the nation who had eier
made that charge.
Mr. Martin objecting to Mi. R's going
iuo anv argument, insisted on his right
to the floor, and proceeded to deliver a
speech on the general subjec t of the bill,
slid the policy op whifch it was founded,
against w'hicli lie protested in tutu, as
nrong in principle, and oppressive and
riinmis in its effect upon tiie Southern
,-rates, lie replied to the strictures of
Mr. Barges on the character of Dr.
Cooper, on whose character, as an ad
vocate of liberty, and standing, as a
non of talent and learning, be jno
lounced a warm eulogiurn. He utterly
disclaimed every tiling like bargain or
collusion as to the character and fate of
the bill, either in the Committee of
M mufactures or in tlje House : combat
ted the doctrine of Mr. 15. as to the com
prrative price of American and British
jabor—the cauSe of the low’ price of
coarse cottons, Sic. He deprecated
the effect bV the bill on commerce and
flic revenue—quoted Hamilton’s report,
to shew, that, when the country was
f.jitniiy divided on a question of pro
le ting duties, the course of trade ought
fr, be left free—and concluded with dis
daining all participation in any design
to produce excitement or disloyalty in
tlii’ South,
When Mr. Martin, ltad concluded, a
Humber of different gentlemen rose
nearly together, claiming the door.

preparatory remarks, moved the prtvi

Washington*, April 2d.
In the Senate yesterday, the bill for
the continuation of the Cumberland
Itoad beyond Zanesville, was, after
some discussion, ordered to a third read
ing. Several private bills were acted
on. The bill for graduating the price
of public lands, and ceding the refuse
to tiie States in witich they lie, was ta
ken up ; and, the discussion being clos
ed. the question on ordering the bill to
a third reading teas taken, and decided
in the negative—Ayes 21, Noes 25.
In the House of Representatives, tiie
consideration of the Tariff w as resumed,
when Mr. Daniel concluded the remarks
lie had commenced the preceding day.
He was succeeded byllr. Martin, who
spoke at some length in reply to Mr.
Burges. \\ hen he s;i. down, nearly a
dozen members rose : but Mr. I s . Wright
having caught the Speaker’s eye, mov
ed the previous question, and tiie call
being seconded by IOC members, tiie
question was taken by aves and noes:
when, bv a vote o’ 122 to (52, it w as de
termined the main question be now put.
O u motion Os Mr. Gilmer, .a call of the
House then took place, when 201 mein
beis were found to be present. The
The question was then taken on the pas
sage of tiie bill—ayes 10a, noes 94. So
the hill was passed. A short discussion
then took place on the title of the bill,
which was cut short by a successful call
for the previous question, when the title
was agreed to.— Journal.
The Tariff has at length passed the
House of Representatives by a vote of
105 to 91. We feel no disposition to
qualify the doubts we expressed in out
last of its final passage in the Senate.
The bill appears to have very few
friends. The unpalatable nature of its
provisions, and its deceptive and neutral
.character, lead us strongly to the belief
that it will not become a law of the land.
Mr. Randolph said yesterday, that the
hill had “ no reference to any ina.iufac
tures whatever, but the manufacture of
a President.” The bill is emphatically
a bill of the Jackson party-, and Mr.
Randolph, we presume, understands
their secret movements and motives suf
ficiently to render him an authority on
this point. A Jackson Committee fram
ed the bill—every amendment engraft
ed into it has come from a Jackson
Source —the friends of the Administra
tion have been thwarted, crossed, and
re-, lied at every turn ; and such of them
as have felt it their duty to vote for the
bill, have done so merely to avoid the
imputation of having vot! against any
measure holding out a promise of pro
j tection. It is impossible to suppose that
i tire bill can be of any benefit to the suf
! feting interests of the country ; and we
I have Mr. Randolph’s testimony to show
i that this was never even Contemplated.
The manufacture of a President i$ all
to which it looked. Looking at the
source of the bill, and the course of pro
ceedings throughout, no one can be so
dull as not to understand that General
Jackson is the raw material out of which
i this President is to be manufactured.—
j The experiment seems to us to he a des
perate one. We believe that from such
a material, no fabric can be produced
which the American people will adopt
1 iml wear.— lbid.

From llie Winchester Republican.
Just about the time the President left
Baltimore, where he spent two or three
days la-t fall, a German farmer from
York county, of great w ealth and influ
ence, happened to arrive in the city,
w hile the fayotable impression of Mr.
Adams’ visit was in the mouth of every
one. The old gentleman was sorry that
he had come to 6 late, and felt inclined
to go down to Washington ami see him
of whom every body talked. His wife
approved the proposal—the carryall was
ordered out-—and the next day they were
in the parlour of the President. They
” ere politely received ; but their mouths
were sealed. They sat ten minutes
without uttering a word ; when the old
German broke silence by saving to his
partner (in their native ! mguage) come
wife let's go home. We've seen the
President. He can’t talk Dutch:
and we mustn't stay here. The Presi
dent instantly replied in the old gentle
man's favorite Dutch, telling him he
was happy to be able to entertain him.
For a moment the visiters looked at
each other in amazement; then by a
a simultaneous impulse unloosened their
tongues, and such a jabber of Dutch was
perhaps never before heard in tire Presi
dent's house. The old gentleman de
clared he was no longer for Jackson,
Mr. Adams was his man; he talked
Dutch better than any body he had ever
heard ; and he would tell his neighbors
so, and they should give him their votes
for President. It is -aid that this littie

Camp Hope, Cth S.pt. 1825.
We learn bv the Alacoo Messetuctr, of
the 21st inst, that information had just
reached that place, of thedeath of Lit
tle Pnixcr:, the head Chief of the
Greek Nation. Little Prince was
the last of she three great Chiefs of the
(_ reeks, who, formerly, by tbeir union
of action, rendered their people the most
powerful of all the Southern Indians.
Big W armor was the great statesman,
Little Prince the great Orator, and
Gen. Mclntosh, the great Warrior.—
The policy and council of the first, was
explained and advocated by the second
and enforced by the last. The two
first could not speak English, or if they
could, it was so badly, that they seldom
did. The persons of these Chiefs, ex
hibited a remarkable variety—Bio
Warrior was a man about six feet
three inches in height, fat and vrrv cor
pulent—an extraordinary figure fur an
Indian. The height Os Little Prince
was about five feet six inches, being
considerable below the usual stature,
though very muscular; his figure was
in proportion, most strikingly beau
tiful—unitingly a perfect symmetry of
the human form. Gen. Mclntosh was
about six feet in height, and of good
proportion. Big Warrior was grave,
thoughtful, and retiring in his manner;
Little Prince was timid and talkative;
Mclntosh was dignified, generous, and
brave.
At the close of the war,we dinedat the
house of Gen. Mitchell, Creek Agent,
at the Agency in company w ith these,
and several other Creek Cheifs. Being
seated between Gen. Mitciiell, and
Bio Warrior, at the head of the table,
we bad an opportunity of observing their
deportment at dinner. The Chief, had
seen enough of the Whites tube famili
ar with the use of ordinary table furni
ture. Theparty was rather a silent one
the conversation being much confined
to Gen. Mcint’osh, Gen. Mitchell,
and ourself. Mcintosh was the only
Cheif at table who spoke English with
ease and facility. YY'hen we had been
seated at dinner about fifteen minutes.
Little Prince having taken copious
draughts of brandy, from a decanter in
his vicinity, fell postrate, front his chair,
in a.state of beastly intoxication—Mc-
Intosh making a signal to three or four
Indians, who appeared to be in attend
ance anticipating such an event, they
took him bodily from the room and de
posited him in the front piazza of the
house, exposed to the gaze of about
2500 of his people, who occupied the
ground in front, waiting a distribution
of their stipend from the Government,
for which purpose they had assembled,
lho YY'ARRtoaatid Mcintosh were tem
perate men, shewed evident mortifica
tion that a brother Chiefshould disgrace
himself, in the presence of tw o or three
of us, whe where strangers.—Thedeath
of Little Pritfte closes the mortal livesof
a distinguished trio, who, in their public
capacities, would have been creditable
to a more chilizcd people.
Charleston Courier.
The bill, which has passed the Hon *e
• of Representatives, proposing =orue a^-
terution of the tariff of duties on mi|>orts
has had its first reading in the {senate,
and was received, as its very outset, w ith
symptoms of hostility not usually mani
fested to bills in that stage of their pro
gress. It is generally supposed, never
theless, that the bill will pass that body
in the shape in which it has been sen
there by tin House of Representatives,
Li the House of Representatives,
yesterday, after several hours’ debate,
on the subjebt of fixing a day for ad
journment was agreed to be feierred for
c'ffumnatiou to a joint committee ol both
Houses, a decided opposition having
been manifested to fixing upon a day
as early as either the ltttii, or the 2titii
of the next month. It would be grate
ful, doubtless, to tc feelings of Mem
bers, could they be allowed to retunr
eten earlier, to their families, and lliei,
private pursuits. But there is a vast ac
cumulation of business on the table ol
the House of Representatives, much of
which lias already passed the ordeai of
the Senate, and the greater part ol
which has, from its intrinsic merit, pe
culiar claims upon the attention of Con
gress. How long the Tariff'bill rvili oc
cupy the time of the Senate, ne can
not venture to predict. But, aside frofii
that subject, the despatch of the untouch
ed or unfinished business before the tyvo
Houses, will lequire several weeks of in
cessant labor. At present, we do not
sec much reason to anticipate a termi
nation of the Session earlier than the end
of the next month.
Intelligencer, of April il.
The bill for a revision of the Tariff
has, at length, through the agency of
the previous question, passed the House
of Representatives, by a majority small,
but yet larger than that by whiehthe last
bill, on the same subject, passed. The
brit seems to be an acceptable one to no
body, and to be urged on its passage as
as much by the objection to it, as by the
arguments in its favor. Party consider
ations have had too much to do with it.

In this place, on Thursday evenin o ”

. and/ 5 ’ An unexpected change in the ar
rival and departure of the mails at this
place has again occurred, by w hich our
readers w ill he deprived, this week, of a
regular receipt of the Messenger. This
chtnjie is very objectionable,” because it
affords no opportunity to answer letters
and send papers by- the return mail,
w liich leaves here in the morning, before
h ttcfsni-o delivered.
TO MR. THOMAS LUNDY.
IF your communication in last week’s
paper, addressed to me, had not con
[ mined a charge under which ( am not
j altogether w illing to lie. the yorrespond
t nee would have been closed without
this reply. i>ut as such charge is con
tained, and is couched in moderate and
respectful language, I feel under some
obligation to notice it.
’Hie charge 1 allude to is found in
“hat you have said about mv “ file ■aj
and officious interference.” ‘it is diffi
cult to determine from the reading of
your publication, y> hethcr you intend the
public to understand that i gave nry in
dividual consent as one of live Justices
ol the Inferior Court, or took the re
sponsibility upon me to give Mr. Jubn
,son lull liberty to substitute puncheons
in the place of saw ed planks. If the
toriner is the way in which you rvould
be understood, you have dealt unfairly
by Using language thus ambiguous; bur
it the latter, you are guilty of a dow
i ight lalsehood. 1 told Mr. Johnson
that I, as one member of the Court,
would make no objection ; and further
than this 1 never acknowledged to you
or any other person : and 1 hope you
are a man of too much truth to say oth
erwise. But whether you are or not,
.Mr. Johnson is:
GEORGlA* —liibb County.
I certify that while I was engaged in
erecting a causeway across Tobesaui ky
swamp I applied to Mathew Robertson,
orm of the Justices of the Inferior Court,
to know ii die said Justices would make
any objections to my substituting oak
puncheons or split timbers for sawed
pme planks on the bridges, and be said
iliat he, as an individual member of *he
t om t, would make no objection, and
that 1 could go and consult the other
Just'ces. Further than this he did not
say ; nor did he in any manner interfere
with the erection of said causeway.
JACOB JOHNSON.
And now Mr. Lundy, I propose that
you participate with me in rejoicing
that this iioiso will soon be at an end ;
lor you will come forward to-day and
give your bond in compliance with your
voluntary oiler to the Grand Jury, and
then all parties will tre s-.0./v J ‘
i win ciose with remarking to you
that if your publication had been a long
list of abusive falsehoods and unmean
ing rant, and your name at the end of
them stifficiei i to enable the public duly
to appreciate them, 1 should not have
made any reply.
